Chapter 56 It's Important to Me

• Isabelle's pregnancy slammed her hard with severe morning sickness shortly after she had settled down. She couldn't keep anything down, and she rejected even the simplest of meals. Her slender figure shed several pounds in a fortnight, making her visibly thinner.
• Hamza, her classmate, noticed her dramatic changes. Yet, he chose not to say anything about it. Instead, when she expressed gratitude by inviting him for a meal, he would order extra dishes for her and avoid foods best avoided during pregnancy.
• Isabelle knew he likely had an inkling of what was happening, but he never probed further. In this regard, he reminded her greatly of Raiden, and the thought of him brought back a flood of memories.
